Sigvald seems - to me, and I speak only of me, let me be precise about 
that - to be the kind of reader who finds in Don Rosa's tales the 
answer to a craving for organization and continuity in a 
long-disorganized fictional arena. I'm not sure he "fell" for anything 
- he's simply found satisfaction, and has embraced it. He could stand 
to put things in better perspective, if his posts are any indication, 
but maybe that's what he's trying to do - it can be a messy and awkward 
process, especially when some of it is conducted in public.

And Don certainly has never gone out to fool anyone about history or 
anything else - that's an absurd notion on the very face of it.
